Updating ELK stack from 8.15.5 to 8.19.16 with RoR 1.70.2. Elasticsearch start up fails due to older RoR version (not the reason) or corrupted ES. In the message it states that “backup catalog is present, but there is no metadata file. However, when i check /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugin/readonlyrest/patch_backup/ there is a file called patch_metadata. I’ve been playing around with the permissions and made sure to set it to elasticsearch:elasticsearch and 640 but still getting issue. That file is populated and states what was patched.
Hi @stevepaz . Do you confirm you followed the ES upgrade procedure? For Elasticsearch | ReadonlyREST
